Crescent Elementary School

I agree with the previous post. My child's teacher in first grade was very imbalanced and inconsistent. My child learned very little and is having a hard time adjusting this year.

This is my kids 1st year here and she is very happy. She loves her teacher! As a parent, I have issues. The pick up system stinks! VERY poorly thought out. They make you get out of the car and get them, they can't come to the car. their reason is cause there's nobody to help them cross the driveway but there is always a lady in an orange vest making sure they dont cross, why can't SHE help them cross? Weird! Put them back on lower campus then! Also dont like that 3rd graders are on the upper campus. This is their last year to be lower graders and are being robbed of that. They should be treated like lower graders even if they are forced to be on upper campus. If lower campus is drawing pictures instead of writting an essay for red ribbon week so should 3rd graders!

this school is over crowned. 35 kids in a classroom. I think the public school system need a major re-construction to be better or at least comparable to the private school. To all the parent who did not know, that the public and private school cost about the same per kid but why private school have a BETTER quality than Public School? The only different is that public school pay by TAX payer and private school pay by parents. Public school is not free. Everyone pay tax is derserve the good education for their kids.

So happy that the two campuses are better unified, thanks to the new principal. The school needed strong leadership and the school has become better as a result. Most of the teachers care, but the younger ones really don't have their heart in it like every teacher should. Overall, it is now a great school again.

As a parent of a child in spec ed, I find that the district as a whole is not very accomadating to children and different learning abilites. As for the teachers, I love them, they are for the kids, however, they are not educated on children who have learning disabilites. The new principal does not leave a good impression either.

At the end of second grade there were children in my kids class who could not read first grade level books without help. We spend time every day with our child studying and reading, she felt that most of 2nd grade was boring and was not a challenge. When we asked about having her put into an advanced class we were told GATE was full to be happy with next year s teacher. The district office told us that if our child needed more of a challenge to stop working with her at home. This was the head of elementary education for the Orange district that told us this. We want our child to excel not be mediocre but it seems that both the school and the district have mediocrity as their goal. We are working to get our child out of the school.

So far, I have had a positive experience at Crescent Primary. There has been a lot of teacher turnover which does concern me.

After having been at three other local schools in recent years, I am so blessed to have my three kids at Crescent elementary. This school is great! I love that the younger grades are seperated from the older grades - there is much less intimidation. The principal is always around, easy to talk to, and genuinely cares. A model school!
